I am known as the perfect girl next door dating Archie Andrews but only at night and sometimes in the day do they see the other me. Mother makes me wear pretty pink, pale colours all the time but really when she isn't around I go for the black darker reds. Most nights I'm not even at home, I'm at my favourite family members house Cheryl or with my bestie Toni. I was born on the Southside as my mum was a Southsider but turned and brought me to the Northside. I was at the Southside till I was 12 and Toni and I went to primary school together, the day we found out I was moving we made so many plans to see each other. Some nights if I'm at my actual home Toni will sneak in from my window and we will talk most of the night. Toni is my lesbian best friend. Toni and Cheryl are dating so we spend most weekends together when I'm not writing,
Growing up was a struggle my mother was barley home most nights so I had to provide for myself. If she was home she would be hungover or bringing home the alcohol. Some nights I would catch her crying in the bathroom over my father who is now rotting in a prison sell. She was a member of the Southside Serpents well the leader of the Serpents but when she traded her colours for the Northside she was pushed aside and I stepped up to taker place about two years ago. Fifteen year old leader it was a challenge at first but the Serpents are a family. I am still the leader of them but I go to Riverdale High instead of Southside High. Toni goes to Southside High and calls the shots when I'm not around as I don't have a king, Archie is never and never will be fitted to be the Southside King. Plus I'm going to be ending the little romance soon hopefully and getting my life back on track to the Southside. Other when I'm with Cheryl I'm at the white Wyrm or Cheryl tags along. Cheryl is a member and the only one with a different colour jacket as she has a red one. Toni, Cheryl and I are the trio together and will be till the day one of us die or ditch.
When my mother found her new partner F.P Jones his son and I became very close but never close enough that we would date he was more like a brother to me and I was his sister. F.P's life was destroyed when his ex wife moved to Chicago with his daughter but all he had left was his son Jughead. F.P is a father figure for me and was the ex Serpent king, Jughead is a member but didn't take the option to become king he turned it down so I was more in charge. Jug and I have been best friends ever since as he also knew Toni before me as they use to date before Toni realised she was gay. F.P broke it off with my mother Alice as she snapped and went insane but he has been there for me when I needed it most. F.P is my family, Jughead is family, Toni is family, Cheryl is family by blood, but there is a but my mother doesn't approve by any of this so that why I'm barley at my real home. Cheryl's most nights apart from some as I'm at F.P's trailer or having girl nights with Toni or the Wyrm where I do attend to crash. I'm now a 17 year old teenager almost eighteen. I bend the laws a fear bit drinking when I'm not suppose to, ditching class but still have good grades.
I'm packing my bag for school as I have been at Alice's/ my real/ fake home. Today I'm planing on breaking up with Archie it's not working we have tried but I don't feel the feelings I once had for him. Inside my back pack is clothes for me to change into as I plan to be going out straight after school, my phone in my back pocket, my Serpent jacket because we can't wear it in school or we get suspended, spare makeup, purse just the usual stuff. I walk to school every single day or until my legs drop. I want a bike but I don't have enough money. It's the one thing I want for my birthday but I don't know how I will ever get it. I have my license, when I joined F.P taught Jughead and I how to ride a bike believe when I say this it wasn't easy.
I walk downstairs "bye mum see you when I'm here next" I hurrying say and leave. I am walking down the streets when an arm goes around me I stop and look up to see Archie "hey" he kisses me but I pull away "you ok, you never pull away your normally the one wanting more" dah you see the one I lost my virginity to. Shit he could be so dumb sometimes. "I'm fine but we need to talk" before he speaks I keep on going "Arch this isn't working anymore, I want to break up I'm sorry it's not you, you don't deserve someone like me, I'm going to be living with Cheryl for good soon and I don't want to pull your strings so this is done" "I was actually going to do the same thing, I have feelings Josie I'm sorry but with my dad gone Josie was really there for me and you tried but you have your responsibilities" he answers. Fred Andrews died two months ago by a stroke. "Ok but friends still, will you still walk me to school?" I ask "always friends nothing has to change,I will always walk you to school when i see you" he says,
We reach the school, I shrug Archie's arm off as it feels weird. I spot Cheryl by her locker. I run up behind her and startle her. "Shit Betty give a girl a heart attack next time" "sorry actually I'm not, we still going to the Wyrm tonight to party, don't be a buzkill I broke it off with Archie so maybe there will be some hot stuff there that I haven't seen before or a Serpent friend of Jug's" I bribe "always anything your doing I'm doing except guys I have Toni" she laughs "of course let's go to class" . We both have English.
Class is boring today, I couldn't get into but that would be part my fault as I was texting during class. Jughead was taking to me so I won't ignore him even if it means risking my education.
When the bell goes I try to enjoy the rest of the day, until I can go get change with Cheryl!
So what do you think so far. Please review and PM me about it, feel free to let me know on some ideas as I already know who her new love bird is going to be. This was more a explanation chapter of Betty's life but I haven't told her whole story there is still more to her than you know yet.
